The Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper has such bright and fun patterns. There are lots of bee patterns but I love these stripes, flowers, gingham and hearts for this card.

I made this for the weekly Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Here’s the sketch I used.

Tips & Instructions

Petunia Pop Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Basic White Layer - 4 x 5 1/4, adhere to the card base.
Die cut 4 strips of different patterns from the Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper using the long, narrow die from the Textured Notes Dies.
Arrange and adhere the pieces on the white layer according to the sketch.
Die cut circles from Basic White and Petunia Pop Cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere together and then to the card.
Stamp the bee body on Basic White Cardstock in Daffodil Delight ink using the Meant To Bee Stamp Set.. I used a stamp positioning tool to stamp multiple times to get a good solid image.
Stamp the stripes on the bee in Black Memento ink. Use the stamp position tool on this as well.
Stamp the face on the bee in Black Memento ink. Die cut the body with the coordinating Meant To Bee Dies.
Stamp 2 sets of wings and the antenna on scraps in Black Memento ink on Basic White Cardstock and die cut with coordinating die.
Lay the wings on scraps of Balmy Blue Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper and fussy cut around the wings. Adhere to the back of the wings.
Adhere the wings and antenna to the bee and then adhere the bee to the card with Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment (from the Simply Said Stamp Set) on a 1/2” strip of Basic White in Petunia Pop ink. Adhere to the circle.
Die cut 6 flowers from Petunia Pop Cardstock using the Meant To Bee Dies and adhere to the circle. You’ll use 3 on the card front and 3 on the inside.
Add some Iridescent Faceted Gems to the flower centers and below the circle.
